Engineer and coder that likes memes.
While he advocates for it, that’s also a point that Martin brings up multiple times when he talks about his project “fitnesse”.
Basically saying that they left it open how stuff can be saved, but the need has never arisen to actually pivot to a different system.
That worked quite well, haha 😄
This is tragically beautiful.
Did you copy paste this from somewhere?
Seems like we’re in the same boat, haha.
I also have a big backlog, and there are far more interesting options than their stuff.
Wasn’t Piranha Bytes not profitable for quite some time?
Their games certainly had a community of fans, but I don’t think those are enough to keep a whole studio afloat.
Just thinking out loud, I did not look at any numbers, but in my head what’s done them in is not producing games that feel good to play. I loved Gothic 3 and Arcania at the time, but I’d choose any other 3rd person RPG that actually has snappy controls over the more modern stuff like Elex and I feel like that’s the mainstream opinion going around.
Not really. Exceptions are a controlled way of indicating something went wrong in an application.
The only point where you wouldn’t know about the possibility of one is when you don’t know enough about the language features you’re using or when you use a badly documented library or framework.
Yeah, I had a similar case with some authentication middleware I used that was part of a library.
It would always throw an exception when a user wasn’t authenticated instead of just giving me some flag I could check.
Wouldn’t have done it that way, but it was okay for an API controller.
Another upside of Jetbrains over Adobe is that you can get edu-licenses that allow you to use every software of theirs.
The best deal our university could get from Adobe was 25% off on Photoshop if at least 200 students bought it.
I’d have recommended it as well.
Popular stuff is usually available in most languages.
Meme is funny, but that exception used as flow control hurts.
Thanks for the response. Seems like I can’t assume other CS degrees are comparable.
We definitely have a strong focus on security in my degree, but I still believe that awareness of what you’re running on your machine and potential dangers of those programs fall into the category of common sense. Mishandling secrets, having bad authentication or not knowing how to setup SSL is definitely experience stuff though.
Neither young or naive. Just assuming others share my experience.
Makes sense, I feel bad for the guys that were happy for a chance and got screwed over. (By the hackers, not you, haha)
That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.
I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.
While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.
If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.
Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂
It’s sad that this works. You’d think especially software professionals would be the most vigilant about running unknown code.
It’s weird. There seem to be a lot of games that offer native Linux clients but they tend to not be maintained that well. Quite a shame really.
I did check the bios settings but couldn’t really find anything that would directly affect a pcie card.
Most power management stuff that could cause issues is turned off. Fast boot itself was also off.
I remember navigating for my dad as a kid using a physical street map. It was a great feeling tracking your position on the map and telling the driver what turn to make next.
But nothing beats the convenience of having a small rectangle that automatically calculates routes for you, especially when travelling alone.
